Question 2

What are the best road trip destinations near Niort?

Accepted Answer

Be sure to have a full tank of gas, because La Rochelle is well worth a detour. Situated 35 miles from Niort, it offers some wonderful attractions, such as Tour St. Nicolas and La Rochelle Hotel de Ville. Saintes, 40 miles away, is another road-trip destination that's worth the drive. Check out Saintes Amphitheatre and Arch of Germanicus, two popular attractions in the area.

Question 3

What kind of rental car should I get for Niort?

Accepted Answer

Niort knows how to entertain. You could spend a week or more here and hardly scratch the surface. If you want to soak up as much as possible in this buzzing metropolis, you'll need a rental car. Keep in mind that driving around big cities often comes with tight streets and even tighter parking spots. Don't worry though, because an economy or a compact car can make this a lot easier to manage. If you're in the mood to leave the city behind and explore some of the dunes that Niort is known for, you may prefer a vehicle with more room to move. A mid-size or full-size SUV is a good choice.

Question 4

Should I get a luxury rental car in Niort?

Accepted Answer

You'll be glad to know that there's a broad range of both luxury and economy rental vehicles in Niort. What you opt for is largely dependent on what you're willing to spend and the activities you've got planned. Specialty and prestige vehicles offer unparalleled comfort and class. If you feel like splashing out, why not go for an SUV with all the bells and whistles, or perhaps an upmarket mid-sized sedan? Alternatively, if you're just after a car to get from A to B as cheaply as possible, you're better off choosing an economy vehicle (or something else that's unlikely to break the bank).
